When calendar events stop syncing on your RealMe 16, reminders can go missing and schedules fall out of date. This usually happens quietly in the background, so you may not notice until an important event fails to appear. The good news is that calendar sync issues are often caused by simple account or background settings, and they are easy to fix once you know where to look.
Why Calendar Events Are Not Syncing on Your RealMe 16
- Sync is turned off for your Google account or calendar app.
- Background data or battery restrictions are blocking updates.
- The calendar app cache has become corrupted.
- The wrong calendar account is selected for syncing.
- Temporary system glitches after a software update.
1. Make Sure Calendar Sync Is Enabled
Calendar apps rely on account sync to update events across devices. If sync is disabled, your RealMe 16 will stop pulling new events or changes.
Open Settings, and then tap Passwords and accounts.
Tap your Google account, and then toggle on Calendar sync.
Wait a few seconds and check if events start appearing.
2. Refresh the Sync Manually
Sometimes sync is enabled but stuck. Manually refreshing forces the phone to reconnect and pull updated calendar data.
Open Settings, and then tap Passwords and accounts.
Tap your Google account, and then tap Sync now.
Give it a minute and reopen your calendar app.
3. Allow Background Data for the Calendar App
If background data is restricted, the calendar cannot update unless you open the app. This causes delayed or missing events.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap Calendar, and then tap Mobile data and Wi Fi.
Enable Background data and allow unrestricted access.
4. Remove Battery Restrictions
Aggressive battery saving can stop the calendar from syncing in the background. Removing restrictions allows the app to update normally.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap App battery management, and then select Calendar.
Choose Allow background activity or turn off restrictions.
5. Clear Calendar App Cache
Corrupted cache files can block syncing even when settings look correct. Clearing the cache refreshes the app without deleting your events.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap Calendar, and then tap Storage usage.
Tap Clear cache and reopen the app.
6. Check the Selected Calendar Account
Events may be syncing, but to a different account than the one you are viewing. This often happens when multiple Google accounts are added.
Open the Calendar app, and then tap the menu icon.
Tap Settings, and then tap the calendar account list.
Make sure the correct account is enabled and visible.
7. Restart the Phone
A restart clears temporary system glitches that can interrupt sync services. It is simple, but surprisingly effective.
Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap the Power icon.
Tap Restart, and then wait for the phone to boot fully.
Open the calendar app and check for updates.
Calendar syncing on the RealMe 16 depends heavily on background permissions and account settings. Once those are corrected, events usually start syncing again within minutes.
FAQs
Why do calendar events sync only when I open the app?
This usually means background data or battery activity is restricted. Allowing background access fixes delayed syncing.
Will clearing the calendar cache delete my events?
No. Clearing the cache only removes temporary files. Your events are stored in your account and remain safe.
How long does calendar sync usually take on RealMe 16?
Syncing is normally instant or takes a few seconds. If it takes longer, there is likely a restriction or account issue preventing updates.
